formed and reckless writers in the
eastern press. - ''
IL Is claimed for Kansas farmers that
they have not been less careful than
those of Nebraska in maintaining their
credit by the prompt payment of their
obligations, and the records OF default
in interest on mortgages and foreclos-
ures in Kansas for the post ten
years appear to justify this claim.
In view OF such facts, easily
acces ,ible to all deserving this informa-
tion, the effort to alarm eastern lenders
on western farm mortgages is to the
last degree reprehensible, since If sue
cessful its effect would be to render
future borrowing difficult and create q
distrust OF existing contracts that might
cause many honest farmers good deal
of trouble. II is of piece with those
equally false statements published in
the eastern press which characterize
all western booms rs having no substan-
tial foundation, and as certain sooner
or later to collapse aud bring ruin
to thousands. So far as Nebraska is
concerned there are no safer invest
ments than her farm mortgages, and
well-informed eastern capitalists know

There was large representation of the
Omaha Alumni of Monmouth college at the
Millard last evening to meet Rev. G. w.
Hamilton, the college representative, and to
discuss the merry college days. Those pres

An interesting address was made by Mr..

Gus condition of the college and the work
being done. Following this were toasts and
responses. The first was ''Co-education; it is
not good for man to be alone, nor girls
either" Bruce McCullOch made the response

THERE'LL DE NO COAL FAMINE.
Plenty of the Dusky Diamonds in
stock aud Ell Route.

Some of the Omaha coal merchants say
that the stories ahoat TO the effect that the
city Is on the verge Of coal famine are
erroneous, and have their origin in the fact
that two weeks ago there was such a small
stock on hand that famine was feared. AT
that time there was scarcity of soft and
hard coal, owing to the shiftlessness of the
railroads. The coal merchants, anticipating
the approach of the late cold snap and an
over pressure of orders, presented a bold
front and compelled the roads to exercise a
little more activity in forwarding the stuff
along with the result that when the blizzard
struck the city ON Sunday coal bins and eel
lars were well supplied and tho yards suf-
ficently stocked TO meet months demands.
A BEE reporter was informed at the coal Of
flee of JEFF Bedford yesterday afternoon that
there were no fears to be anticipated from a
coal famine, as the drsky diamonds were
being received daily in large quantities.
Tho cold snap had its effect on solicitations
for fuel and food from the county commits
sioners by the poor of the city. While the
demand was not as great as at this, time last
year, 1t was, however, sufficiently large to
impress the commissioners with the amount
of poverty prevalent. The greatest of pre-
caution is exercised in establishing the
worthiness of applicants, and but few i'm
positions are practced upon Comms sioner
O'Kcefc and his co-workers
During the last few days the good ladies
connected with the Women's Christian
association have not been idle, and have done
n great deal in relieving the wants OF the
poor people.

Western Farm Mortgages.

A great deal has been published dur
ing the past two or three months in
eastern journals depreciatory of west
ern farm mortgages. Very much OF this
has been bald Misrepresentation, the
motive for which it is not easy to UNDER
stand. 1t is not questionable that money
has been lost by eastern lenders on west
ern farm mortgages, but that such losses
have been ut all general, as these de-
predatory writers would have it appear,
or that the returns on such loans have
not very greatly exceeded the losses, no
reasonable and candid man will contend.
A citizen of Pawnce county, Ne
braska, where he has lived for
more than quarter OF century.
writes in the American Banker
of his experience and knowledge re-
garding farm mortgages in that county,
which there is every reason to believe
is not exceptional in Nebraska. The
farmers OF Pawnce county started poor,
and this writer states that he does not
know Of a dozen owners of farms who
are now unable to meet all debts, and
still have ample means left to keep
themselves. He states that he knows
OF "a score or more farmers who could
easily clear up twenty thousand dollars;
n few who are estimated at thirty
to fifty thousand dollars, aud
hundreds who are worth from
six to twelve thousand dollars; and
few, indeed, not worth from two thou
sand to five thousand dollars. Those
who are in the best circumstances are
| those who have made their money here;
who came here with small means, and
have made their money by farming and
raising stock. The force OF these state
ments can be apprehended when it is
| added that few. indeed, are the farmers
in this county who are not thriving
making money from year to year, He
says further that for the last ten years
he doubts whether there have been III
many as u dozen mortgage foreclosures
and during that period not three fore
closures for borrowed money. Taking
Pawnee county rs Ia fair sample OF Ne
braska counties, and Nebraska as faii
example Of the agricultural and stock
raising west, IL is evident that there /;
20 just ground for the sweeping depre
citation Of western farm mortgage
which has been made by the ill-in

ANiUSENfENT A
The BOstOnians Delight Another Fine
Audience Mt BOyd's,


Audience at Boyd's.
A more delighted audience never assem-
blcd in an Omaha auditorium than the one
which gathered at Boyd's last evening to
listen to Offenbach's airy opera comique,
.The Poachers." 1t was signal success
from the very rise of the curtain. "The
Poachers" has never been given in Omaha
before, nor in America, for that matter, by
any company save the Bostonans. 1t is re-
dundant with those merry melodies which
characterize all of the gifted composers pro-
ductions, and the libretto fairly scintillates
with felicitous and jocund persiflage. The
plot is simply cOncatenatiOn of the most
amusing MISUNDERSTANDING, without being so
intricate as to require any great mental
strain to keep track and trace of their un-
raveling In short the opera is as bright and
airy as sunny summer morning, and will
stand frequent repetition. The cast last night
embraced the pquant Marie Stone, as
Bibletto- -Bibletta, whose dual role as an insul-
pressible poacher and u winsome lass was the
nucleus of the whole enhancing story Her
singing was inimitably sweet and her acting
at once captivated the audience. Marcasson,
mule driver, was the character in which
the old favorite, H. G. Barnabee, won new
admirers by the score. His vexatious mis-
adventures after his marriage to Gcnetta,
Miss Juliette Corden, kept the audience in
convulsive laughter. J. A. Montgomery as
Count de Compstrons, F. w. Miller, as
Theodore, his son; George FrOthingham as
Bibes, Bibletoo's guardian angel" and Miss
Nina Cleary as Barades all deserve un-
stinted praise. Each one seemed to have q
peculiar fitness for the very best representa-
ton of the characters assigned them. 1t
would be remiss not to say more than word
of Miss Corden. She is a most engaging
little actress aud possesses voice, mezzo-
soprano, of really extraordinary range and
feasibility, and is destined to take place with
the older favorities. The chorus was splen-
did and the work of the orchestra under
Director Shidley's able handling was first

At Fort DOnclsOn.

Detroit Free Press: 1t was an eX-con-
federate soldier at Sheffield, Ala, who
was giving some OF his experiences Mt
the battle OF Fort Doneison. He was
an officer and had n young colored man
for his cook. When the confcderates,
or the great bulk Of them, decided, after
a hot fight, to withdraw from the fort,
the captain looked around for his serv-
ant, but the hcgro was nowhere to be
seen. The officer mounted log and
called out in loud tones for his servant,
and pretty soon was answered, but in
such faint tones that he could not for
awhile locate the cook. Caesar finally
made it plain that he was in the log
under the officers feet, and was ordered
to come out.
Cant do it," he shouted in reply.
But you must. The fight is all over"
"But can t-dars TO white men in
dis log behind mel"
And when the officer Investigated he
found that such was the fact. They
crawlishcd out, one after another, each
having nm excuse to urge, and finally
the darky appeared. The officer was
about to open on him, but Cesar pro-
tested:
"Doan' say one word. Dis ar de fust

an it's gwinc To be de very last. Dc

THE controller of the currency is still

THE controller OF the currency is still
receiving suggestions Of plans for con-
tinuing the national bank system, but
there is very little in any of them that
is essentially new, and all are subject to
some of the objections which he pre-
sented in his annual report TO those
plans submitted up to that time. 1t is
evident that it is going to be no simple
task to devise a just and popular plan
for perpetuating the national banks,
and if it were not for the fact that there
is still ample time IN which to do this,
bonds for securing circulation being
available for twenty years yet, there
would be reason for apprehension re-
garding the fate of the national system.
The matter is one of such large and i'm
portant concern, however, that congress
may very properly give it attention at
the present session, at least to the eX-
tent of discussing the several plans that
have been suggested, and Of indicating
what the sentiment is regarding the
continuance of the system. 1t will not
be surprising if it shall be found that
there is a very considerable feeling un-
favorable to its perpetuation.

been to disseminate information about

ties of transportation and promote in

BY its new rule sending private bills
to the clerk, who will refer them to the
appropriate committees, the house of
representatives will free itself of what
has been a source of very considerable
annoyance and waste of time. The
formal introduction OF this class of bills
consumed many hours during Il session,
and the process was as we'll an exceed
ingly tedious one. Under the new rule
private bills can be handed to the clerk
at any time, and the house will know
nothing of them until they are brought
before it by the committees having them
in charge. 1t is sensible rule that will
undoubtedly be appreciated by all, ex-
cept, perhaps, the clerk of the house.

IT is not likely that the Congressional
Record will be abandoned so long as
there is a majority of congressman
whose constituents would never hear Of
them except through its pages. 1t is a
most convenient receptacle for the wis

get a quorum Of their colleagues to
listen to them, and to whom leave to
